  • Collarbone24602 Collarbonee (@Collarbone24602) reported

    @_QuiteLiteraly_ I think one of the biggest issues with gaming rn is the cycling of free games Apex gets a huge update everyone goes there, Fortnite gets a huge update everyone goes there, Overwatch gets a huge update everyone goes there

  • TheGhos25599005 The Ghost Gamer (@TheGhos25599005) reported

    @CoopGamerCouple @charlieINTEL I havent played fortnite and overwatch a whole lot, but if im not wrong, isnt it developed by one dev team? here u have three main devs and one for warzone. I think that is where all the problems were created.

  • LetsNovaStream DYNAMiX (@LetsNovaStream) reported

    @ropz playing the cs series since 2004, spend ten of thousands of hours. but the biggest question: will the vac change in a finally working ac? or do u just do a complete graphical overhall and let the cheaters do their thing`? do u will fix overwatch which isnt working since months

  • transmascmikey ryan ‼️ (@transmascmikey) reported

    they should make sighardt canon 2 overwatch lore and i think that would just fix every problem in the game tbh

  • doegfs naomi (@doegfs) reported

    @trexelkin the factyhat the overwatch addiction has gone this far is a problem….

  • GhostKyra Kyra (@GhostKyra) reported

    something i don't understand about overwatch is that support and tanks get way more potg's than the DPS do, and i honestly see that as a problem because there is way too many DPS oriented supports, and some of the tank are just busted #Overwatch2

  • MagnusAduro Magnus (@MagnusAduro) reported

    @Tnecwin @pcgamer "A premium game on PC". Oh, you mean like Overwatch? Plenty of other devs put live service **** in a game you have to buy, too. Fallout 76, Destiny, I mean you'd have to be living under a rock to think that's an excuse of any kind. And don't forget, Diablo 3 was all p2w. RMAH.

  • caiocinel Cailu (@caiocinel) reported

    @prayhe_ @aquaismissing @watercs2 The biggest problem is that CS:GO has a massive amount of cheaters, I actively participate in this community and I can safely say that the ratio must be at least 50:1, which makes overwatch a little unfeasible because it is a slow and time-consuming process

  • YokaiGalaxy Galaxy🏂 (@YokaiGalaxy) reported

    @MunstaMasta Not just in overwatch either. Valorant has this same issue where every so often you get teams that are doing pro strats and **** talking the entire game. Like bro if I wanted to do all this I would just go play comp.

  • DecafFour86 Decaf (@DecafFour86) reported

    @PopA500Beny @bxnellis @TheGhostOfHope Exactly, the problem is solved if crossplay matchmaking is only between consoles and not between PC and console. Or if console players party up with their PC friends, AA is disabled for them (like Overwatch tried to do)

  • Kamryn_Ray Ryn (@Kamryn_Ray) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix the matchmaking. Im tired of this. Im Gm and the player ranks in a game can range down to plat..? Not to whine extra but today i had so many games where my team was given the lesser hand. Ex. Our dps were plat? And the enemy teams were both masters...how!?

  • PaperLaddy ok (@PaperLaddy) reported

    Am I the only person who is getting constant Overwatch error codes? I know it’s not my internet. I can’t even do role select now.

  • TwixPheofilip DarkZero (@TwixPheofilip) reported

    @CounterStrike Already got my service medal for 2023, got overwatch and good hours They're just giving these out randomly

  • aquaismissing Aquarius (@aquaismissing) reported

    @watercs2 Overwatch was not necessarily removed. From what I understand, CS:GO devs messed up something, which led to Overwatch being broken. I notified them about this issue.

  • TWEETSPREET Spreet (@TWEETSPREET) reported

    @MacieJay Like Overwatch does! Crazy how **** the queues are in these games. Valorant you get dropped into a game seconds upon hitting play. Idk what the issue is.

  • UIIndustries . (@UIIndustries) reported

    @HorrnsUp @alphaINTEL Overwatch had no problem with it

  • BiggHungryPhill Phill Moxley (@BiggHungryPhill) reported

    @xctbl Working in Overwatch has me problem drinking in the middle of the day.

  • travk_possiblyy TK (@travk_possiblyy) reported

    @BlizzardCS What's the status of fixing the smurf problem in Overwatch 2 season 3? There is absolutely no reason Diamond and higher players are trolling in low ranks resulting in no one being able to climb out of that gauntlet. Only my tank queue is normal.

  • ayteeess7 Alana (@ayteeess7) reported

    @BlizzardCS any update on the LC208 error? This is ridiculous. Overwatch 1 never had any of these issues.

  • FPSFalcontv FPSFalcon (@FPSFalcontv) reported

    When Overwatch 2 beta launched, one of the common complaints seemed to be "its the same game minus a tank" and people seem discouraged by that. CS2 meanwhile is getting that same reaction and the community loves that. Very much a "ain't broke don't fix it" scenario.

  • SonyOfLastation Rockman Xelnia (@SonyOfLastation) reported

    I'm so tired of this damn acquisition drama that I feel like just let Microsoft have the god damn merger. Let them have Call of Duty. Let them have Overwatch, Diablo, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, and every other notable title. Nobody is going to lose sleep.

  • cptadderall CaptainAdderall (@cptadderall) reported

    @OhReallyJared @SrslyPaladin There's a major issue with how overwatch actually handles banned players, specifically how blizzard confirms nothing, allowing bans to be used as a tool for attention, advertising, harassment and engagement- as this community is mostly blind to how the cheating community…

  • andreoliver0100 André Luiz de Oliveira (@andreoliver0100) reported

    Se a Activision for comprada, teremos ainda por cima Diablo, OverWatch, Crash, COD e outros...

  • JacobSh20157792 Jacob Shaw (@JacobSh20157792) reported

    @LightOverHaven @SirPootington @ZenofyMedia Overwatch on the other hand has terrible balance issues and isn’t taken nearly as serious on an esports level. Plus it was marketed as a PvE story expansion and hasn’t even delivered on that up to yet

  • pompadorkery Pompadorkery (@pompadorkery) reported

    @Pegaslick Yeah it was really strange. The NSFW print I had was Mercy from Overwatch, and they had no problem. I guess they just didn't recognize her but recognized Sailor Moon?

  • bbygnatrosa 🦋 (@bbygnatrosa) reported

    I donate plasma so I can buy overwatch skins. I have a problem

  • RenekerHunter ladder (@RenekerHunter) reported

    @SrslyPaladin @OWCavalry Do the team have any intentions of fixing a myriad of issues that plague console overwatch? Mainly ximming, smurfing and the immortality field bug.

  • BiggHungryPhill Phill Moxley (@BiggHungryPhill) reported

    @xctbl It's not making any of my Overwatch-related problems go away, it just puts a lampshade on their head for a few hours.

  • BikiniBodhi BikiniBodhi 🇸🇪 ❤️ 🇺🇦 (@BikiniBodhi) reported

    @Get_Flanked Because unlike with Overwatch 2 CSGO is a well-designed game which Overwatch isn't and hasn't been for a while and the falsely marketed "sequel" didn't fix ANY of those issues if anything it's made the game WORSE. CS2 is just more and better CSGO.

  • HashionDiscord Hashi (@HashionDiscord) reported

    @auvure I definitely dont care who writes something. Perturabo kinda screwed him over in overwatch but I dont see an issue with him being that strong. Also dont see an issue with sanguius being that strong either
